Not sure what you mean, but if you want to align your car and are looking for specs because your car is lowered, just try to get it close to factory spec.

Basically, if you don't have a camber kit, your camber will be out of spec (little bit more than -2.0, depending on how low your car is). Your toe will probably be off a bit, so you want it set to Zero or very close. Your caster will be off as well, but the only thing you can do anything about is toe, and that's the most important anyway.

If you have a camber kit, try to adjust it within spec if it's important to you, but keep in mind that a little bit of negative camber is good for handling, so you will want to look into what kind of performance and use you want out of your car. If it's just street driven, no track use, then you may want to get your camber to around the 'edge' of the factory spec (-1.8 or so). It all depends on your car also, some cars come stock with more negative camber than other cars. I am basing all of my suggestions off of my 92 LS, which will be slightly different than a 96 gsr.

Toe is most important, get it set to zero and be on your way. That way you won't eat tires. Don't worry too much about camber and caster, as long as they aren't like 3 degrees off or something, and if they are, it's probably because your car is too low or something is bent.
